Is a GTA 6 Movie From Paramount Actually Happening?
Grand Theft Auto 6 fever is so white‑hot that even flimsy whispers explode into viral headlines. This week, an unverified rumor rocketed through the fandom—another sign that in the rush for GTA 6 clues, hype is outpacing the facts.
I love a good rumor as much as anyone, but this one got out of hand fast: no, Paramount is not making a GTA 6 movie. A parody account tossed a fake announcement onto X, people ran with it, and the internet did what the internet does. Let’s untangle what actually happened.
How a fake GTA 6 movie fooled a lot of people
The spark came from a parody account on X (formerly Twitter) called DiscussingFish. On November 5, 2025, they posted a slick-looking graphic and a straight-faced claim that Paramount had a Grand Theft Auto movie in the works, complete with a release date and fancy buzzwords. It looked real enough at a glance to send fans and a few gaming sites into a mini-frenzy within hours.
- The post said Paramount was developing a Grand Theft Auto film
- It promised an original story in the GTA universe with game-accurate locations and production design
- It even stamped a theatrical release date on it: October 22, 2028
- For extra fake legitimacy, it included a real link to an IGN story — about GTA 5, not a movie
- The account is a parody page, not affiliated with Rockstar, Take-Two, or Paramount
By the next day, the troll took a bow and bragged about fooling a big viral news account. Subtle, this was not:

Reality check
There is no GTA 6 movie in development at Paramount or anywhere else right now. This was a troll post that looked convincing because it used the right language, a specific date, and a legit link to something adjacent. Fans are hungry for GTA news and that hunger can override skepticism — especially when a post feels like the thing everyone has been waiting to hear.
So what is actually happening with GTA 6?
The game itself is the real event. From what Rockstar has shown so far, GTA 6 is aiming for that big, cinematic feel without needing a movie camera. We are talking dual protagonists, a sprawling modern Vice City (Rockstar’s Miami), and the usual Rockstar-level obsession with detail. The studio takes its time, but they tend to ship cultural moments, not just games. Also, brace for the price and editions that come with a blockbuster of this size — that part will not be shy.
Bottom line: if Rockstar ever greenlights a GTA movie, you will hear it from them, not from a parody feed with a nice font. Until then, the only GTA 6 film out there lives in your imagination — and honestly, the game is probably going to scratch that itch better anyway.
